Anonymous members of Gang Green ripped quarterback Mark Sanchez as "lazy" and "content" and said resentment is building inside the locker room over the perception that the team coddles its so-called San-chise, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

"They see the organization babying him,” one Jets source told the News. “They see him with a sense of entitlement. He’s been given all this and hasn’t done anything. They call him ‘San-chise.’ They make him the face of the organization. They gave him the captain tag. He’s not a captain. He should have never been a captain.”

The story comes the day the team named former Dolphins head coach Tony
Sparano as new offensive coordinator, replacing embattled Brian
Schottenheimer.

Several players interviewed by the News urged the team to trade the 25-year-old and pursue legendary Colts QB Peyton Manning should he be medically cleared after neck surgery.

Players interviewed questioned whether the young Southern Cal product was mentally tough enough to handle playing in New York City. Players said Sanchez goes into "a hole" when criticized.

In his third year in the league, Sanchez set career highs in touchdowns (26) as well as turnovers (26 in total -- 18 INTs and 8 fumbles).

He coughed up the ball nine times in the team's final three losses, a performance that sealed the Jets' fate in an 8-8 season.

But for all his inconsistency this season, the former fifth overall draft pick did make the AFC Championship game as a rookie and sophomore. And he didn't exactly get much help from his offensive line either -- tackles D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Wayne Hunter surrendered a total of 19 sacks.
